hurricane here. so because you are want hearing hurricane warning, tell happen. what is happening, local weather service offices are issuing local wind advisories, to central appalachians to the northeast, high wind warnings, a big inland event. i want to show you the wind field. those are winds, 30 miles per hour. darker blue is 50-mile-per-hour storms. right now, we have the 30-mile-per-hour storms. by the morning, we have 50-mile-per-hour winced plus, in new york city, down towards philadelphia, pork towards d.c., watch this, the storm comes inside, we have 50 to 60-mile-per-hour winds in chicago. and also way down across the southeast. >> eric: wow, that's astounding. we will be all over at this time next few days. >> jamie: mandatory evacuations looping the coast of delaware, 50,000 residents have been told get out of sandy's pass. peter doocy is in delaware, peter, sounds like the winds are picking up? >> reporter: the winds are picking up. but not a lot of rain. and the waves all day have been huge. right now, the tide is pretty low. so some beach has been revealed and for the 50

to fall apart. that will be gusty wind around here, likely locally very heavy rain as well. let's do some local forecasting as well. we're doing fine this morning. 63 at reagan national. our highs today will be about 70. we've got morning fog and there might be a little drizzle or a lone some shower in a spot or two during the day today as this fog will be slow to burn off. i think much of your day will just be kind of cloudy. and again, good news for your friday and saturday, relatively quiet. nice and quiet. we are not expecting a lot in the way of issues here for the start of your weekend. highs today, we'll go 71 here in washington and 69 in leonardtown a6 # # winning number in manassas and some -- and 69 the winning number in manassas. >> here is julie wright with the traffic. >> the lanes are open, the pace is good to go and you will find issue free the trip across the american legion bridge as you work your way from mont gomery county headed out to fair fact eastbound on 66. no trouble spots leaving fair oaks headed towards 123. traffic speed moving as well on the beltway as well b

cuts could translate to a loss of more than 2 million jobs nationwide. locally that same study estimates it will cost virginia more than 207,000 jobs and dc more than 127,000 jobs if the sequestered takes affect. in addition to those jobs, the city could lose over $100 million in federal grants and tax revenue. one federal grant provides 23.5 million for education. in d dr. the number of civilian -- d c., the number of civilian jobs outweighs what could be considered with the department of defense. >>> we have heard a lot about defense jobs and a defense cuts that could happen. if it does happen, it could hurt the needest person the most. >> this is the axe food pan tree in bump free. it is part of the axe food center which helped 77,000 people last year, people who were hungry, homeless, job loss or from domestic violence. a third of its budget come from state or county funds. if sequestration happens,. >> that is direct services to the people we help. >> the is he questerred cuts total evenly divided between domestic and defense spending. the defense communithas rallied again

to disrupt not just at the local level, but the global economy. unfortunately, what you're hearing is too much of the gloom and doom in terms of where america is when it comes to competitiveness. my view is that it is still the best country on the planet when it comes to starting up a business, advancing an idea you have or access to talent. the challenge we have before us because we are the architect of our own destiny, that there are key issues we need to confront. if you look at the next 30 years, if you do not address them, i do not think we can remain the most competitive country in the world. first, i think it comes down to immigration. it is broken. it makes absolutely no sense when we educate some of the smartest people in the world with advanced degrees and then ask them to leave the country and go start up companies elsewhere. why are we not stapling right to their graduate application a visa or a green card? second, when it comes to education, the challenge we have domestically is that that system is also broken as we look for the next 30 years. in detroit, for example, there w

-30, and defeating the opponent the first time since 1979. >>> and in local scores, howard homecoming edges oregon state, 21-20 and georgetown on the road falls to colgate, 57-36. >>> and time for our first break in the show. coming up, dave ross has more on the redskins first division game and joins us from new york after the break. as governor, i cut five b billion dollars in spendg and balanced the budget every year. and tim kaine and i both cut our own pay as governors, to lead by example. mark warner and i reached across party lines to get things done. we were a great team in richmond and we'll be a great team in washington. i'm tim kaine and i approve this message ...because we'll work together to restore fiscal responsibility, grow our economy and create jobs. [ male announcer ] tim kaine. bringing people together to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. athat's what the planan george allen supports...together would cost our economy. newspapers called it "economically destructive." like allen's votes to give tax breaks to companies... that ship jobs overseas, his economic plan would... help bi

to be president. and if you talk to people like locals like donna brazil said if only al gore had listened to us and gone to new hampshire, that's just four electoral votes, we wouldn't even have needed florida. so things can turn on that. also there's the possible nightmare scenario for maybe the country, brian, of neither candidate getting 270, getting 269. it goes into the house where each state caucuses and then casts one vote. there are 33 republican delegations. so the election would go to romney. but in the senate picks the vice president. what do you think of this? president romney and vice president bidening. wasn't supposed to work like that. so there's an unbelievable amount of mathematical different arrangements, but do look at ohio, florida and virginia. those are the three big ones. >> cameron, as we look at ohio, florida and virginia, are we overlooking a couple of states like perhaps colorado? >> i think colorado is also key. basically romney needs to run the table in colorado, virginia and ohio to feel good on election night. there's still a chance he can pull it off with two of

.com, you can find out in your local neighborhood where your neighborhood team leaders are and you can get in touch with them. find out what activities are going on. where to make phone calls what doors to knock on. what's happening organizationally in your region. it is best way to get involved. dashboard.barack obama.com. >> jennifer: you hear that? there is a way to get involved and make a difference in this campaign. stephanie cutter, deputy campaign manager for obama 2012. thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks, governor. >> jennifer: all right. coming up, if you're one of those junkies who just eats, sleeps and breathes politics, you are going to flat out love what we have coming up next. forget must-win states. we're going to get you on the ground in some must-win counties. plus, what was the very first political ad? how about the very first attack ad? tonight, we're going to kick off our series on the selling of the president. political ads that changed history. and later millennials, you young people are

in a conflict zone or a troubled country, but you would not be wise to do that. a local driver who knows where he is going and talks with the armed men at checkpoints and says hello to them and smooth things out -- >> need people with you? >> one producer, one photographer, a driver in each country, and an interpreter in each country. it is a carload or a van load. with that group of people, you keep going. sometimes we go hundreds of miles a day. sometimes we would spend several days in the same city. each day, we were trying to build on what we learned about how democracy was evolving, if it would be appalled at all. there were security problems in all three countries. we were looking for the heartbeat of these places. >> what is the first thing you tell somebody they want to do that you did? >> i would say go ahead. >> is it expensive? >> of course. especially if you want to do it quickly and securely. you need to look for a decent hotel to spend a night. and you need to hire people to take along. >> security? >> you do not worry about security. you do not take security. you do not take a b

is a franchise and the local owner hasn't responded to our requests for comment. >> we haven't heard back from your manager. >> reporter: the windham hotel group says, we are acknowledging the allegations made by the guest. we are currently looking into the matter with the hotel and will take appropriate action. ♪ [ music ] the band switched hotels. the man who grew up in the segregated south said he didn't hear the remark about "those people" but he says he recognizes discrimination. [ inaudible ] >> permanent indelible scar on your brain, you know? and for that to happen in 2012 is made me think about it. this has to stop. >> reporter: the human rights commission is looking over the complaint. if they begin an official investigation and find violations, the hotel do end up on a list of businesses not in good standing with san francisco. the hotel says they believe in diversity and have a national reputation as such but for this local franchise owner they need to have a talk with them. >> thank you. >>> the governor's tax hike proposal is slipping in the polls. now an enormous amount of mon

. it's a full-scale elaborate exercise based on how quickly local emergency jurisdictions can respond to a terrorism incident with mass casualties. the scenario was designed to be as realistic as possible with victims played by actors and training mannequins. >> when i arrived. i met with the police incident commander and what happens is the police had a bomb, the bomb -- they had several bombs, devices, and one of them exploded. at that point it becomes a fire nowrtment operation because we have wounded civilians, structural stability to the building and possibly a fire. >> trying to figure out where all the patients were, who needed to be transported first, getting everybody into an area where they can be treated and figuring which hospitals had room. >> emergency crews tell us they were able to pinpoint what they need to work on to be more efficient in the event of an act of terrorism. one the areas that needs the most improvement, patient accountability, but overall, the drill was hails as an effective way to make sure local jurisdictions are ready to do what's needed during an at

that are in many cases for local government are best partners at fighting important poverty, that kind of stuff. >> governor walker, for you as well, the defining issue that determines the outcome in your state? >> well it's certainly about jobs. in our case it's elections are fundamentally about the future and not about the past. so i think people on the few weeks back on that night in denver and john's state outside of his hometown there when voters got to see that mitt romney had a plan and the president didn't. and now in the last few days, he's trying to gloss that over with a 20-page glossy document. he doesn't have a plan, mitt romney does. in fact just yesterday as i was traveling the state, there were literally farmers out in fields that had almost like a burma shave commercial. they had one sign after another after another that listed out the five points of his plan. people want to know how they're going to get working in janesville or green bay or wausau or milwaukee or superior. they want to know how we're going to get working again. i think it was clear after the debate. they saw r

not want to say that nothing has been done, because scott can tell this -- at the local level. the local watchdog is hurting around the country, but at the national level i do not know that a so much the case that we are not able to be vigilant anymore. i think vigilance is taking a different form. it is taking the form of more collaborative efforts, where people are working together to produce really in-depth stories that are hard hitting and take that watchdog role. it is happening in other mediums. a lot of documentary filmmaking is becoming investigative and there's more support and acknowledgment for that. if you look at the numbers over time, more newspapers do not exist, a lot of reporters have lost their jobs, that is true, you cannot deny it, but i went to the investigative reporting conference this year and there were 1500 people there, one of the largest turnouts ever. people are still doing work, doing it in different ways. the money is always hard to come by. it may be harder, but we also have wider means of distribution. it is hard to say -- there is no clear cost-benefit a

connecticut tiene razÓn para celebrar esto, luego que la policÍa local llegÓ un acuerdo para evitar abuso a manos de los agentes, isolda peguero tiene los detalles. >>> a marcia chacÓn se le es quiebra la voz luego de recordar los aÑos de miedo y hostilidad, donde una zacuadrilla de polici sometÍan a los vecinos >>> eso fue momentos como de terror vivÍa yo, porque ate r y afectaron a toda la comunidad. 4 aÑos despuÉs que este video grabado por un sacerdote pusiera al descubierto la con kukducta oficial de sobre el abuso de poder sus residentes celebran un acuerdo alcanzado entre el departamento de justicia y la policÍa, para pulsimpulsar refo inmediata. >>> no hubiera ocurrido sin el esfuerzo de nuestra gente, de las vÍctimas valientes. >>> 2 los policias ya se dice cla ra se declararon culpables, los otros dos aÚn no han sido enjuiciados. el alcalde a plu dplaudiÓ el ac que permite que se desistÍ esti acusaciÓn. >>> a cambio los agentes participarÁn en entrenamientos obligatorios para evitar actos de discriminaciÓn. y hablamos todavÍa de un cambio de cultura y corazÓn. e

," the push for local parents to get their kids a little more sleep before school. >>> welcome back. they say everything's bigger in texas, and that includes the speed limit. today a new toll road with an 85-mile-per-hour speed limit opens in the lone star state. supporters say it offers an alternative to congested roads and is safe as long as drivers follow the rules. some say 85 miles an hour isn't safe for any driver. police say the speed doesn't worry them, but the highway runs through a rural area causing potential accidents with wildlife. if you're going 85 miles an hour and you hit anything -- >> it is going to be a problem. but i understand it's a relatively -- >> open stretch. >> low volume area. >> it could be fun if you like speed. >> not fun, eun. it's efficient. >> all right. >> let's get a look at the forecast. tom kierein's in the storm center. >> beautiful picture from the hd city camera. weather and traffic on the ones early this wednesday morning. >>> we have clouds closing in from the west. they're producing a few sprinkles this morning. there's a slight chance we could get

and why it's localized and why it's left to states and 13,000 different voting districts which may have their own ballot design, voting rules and creates a lot of chaos and a lot of latitude for partisan interests to get in there and manipulate in a loosey goosey decentralized i would say chaotic system. >> victoria, it seems to me we should have a singular system that works one way, everybody understands the rules and do it the same way at the same time. i think there are clear reasons why we don't make voting as easy as possible and registration as easy as possible. what are some of the reasons why voting is not easier and registration is not easier? >> well, a lot of states are fond of their voting systems and stretches back to 1787. i don't want to dump on the founding fathers too much but they made compromises drafting the constitution. >> terrible parents. >> in therapy for 200 years in consequence. they made a bunch of necessary compromises to get the constitution passed and one of the biggest ones is laws regarding elections are administered by the state. we have gotten pretty c

price, really, that we'll get. >> a local business electronicsed to provide debate merchandise says it can barely keep up with demand. danville will spend $100,000 to stage the debate. city officials say after hosting the debate in 2000, they know the expense is well worth it. >>> there's a different kind of debate tonight, between bill o'reilly and jon stewart. two hosts with clashing political viewpoints. they will have a mock debate at george washington university, and call it the rumble 2012. tickets sold out almost immediately, and the show will be available over the internet through live streaming. >>> people reduced to tears. >> it's hard to come here. i've been a self sufficient person my whole life. >> she's upset over one mayor's plan to close soup kitchens. why he wants to put them out of business. >> a cool down is in the forecast for your bay area weekend. we're up with a mix of clouds, some fog. we'll look at what to suspect for your neighborhood coming up -- what to expect for your neighborhood coming up. >>> a 10-year-old colorado girl is missing and police have now

to be bipartisan, we knew it had to be a partnership between the fog roll government and local communities, local businesses, small and large alike. we stepped up and did it. now, my point is says that my vote was on american, an american. to me, that a vote was doing my job to fight for their jobs. >> i would like to think nbc and the aarp and everyone is viewing and tonight. my name is josh mandel and i'm running for the u.s. senate. i am running for the senate because washington is broken. here in ohio, one in every four children is in poverty. this is unacceptable. in order to change washington, we have to change the leaders we said there. over the next hour, i look forward to having an opportunity to tell you about my specific jobs plan to bring new jobs right here to the state of ohio. unfortunately, in washington, things are broken when it comes to economic development, when it comes to growing the economy right here in the state of ohio. i believe washington can take a little lesson from what we have done here in ohio. look at the state treasurer's office. we have earned the highest rate

, an election this tight comes down to ground game, early voting. and the numbers this terms of local headquarters are stunning. nationally, obama has a clear edge. 750 local campaign offices compared to around 280 for the romney campaign. so almost a 3-1 split. in the state of florida, tighter. 2-1, advantage obama, 102 to 48. local headquarters. this is just one metric. local headquarters is a question of real estate. what really matters is those voter engagements. it's the phone calls they've made, the ability to get people to the polls. it's the ability to get people to vote early. that is particularly key in a state like florida. but ground game is a critical measure in a race this tight, everything matters in the final sprint. and this -- in the case of headquarters, it's advantage obama, no question. >> you know what, just as you were saying that, we popped up a graphic. and i want to look at those numbers again, because i couldn't believe it. it was the headquarters in ohio, florida and virginia, which are three of the most critical states. obama has 122 to romney's 40. in flo

efforts to support local preparedness efforts in potentially affected areas. we expect him to call the storm serious and big and slow moving. obviously safety and human life is the most important objective but the impact will not only be environmental, massive flooding, downed trees, damaged homes and businesses, lost power but political as well with only nine days left before the november 6 national elections there could be a direct impact on voting. here are the president's remarks. >> well, good afternoon, everybody. obviously all of us across the country are concerned about the potential impact of hurricane sandy. this is a serious and big storm. and my first message is to all people across the eastern seaboard and mid atlantic going north that you need to take this very seriously and follow the instructions of your state and local officials because they are going to be providing you with the best advice in terms of how to deal with the storm over the coming days. we just had an excellent meeting with the fema team here, the various agencies in charge including the department o

the deficit, he said he could make the math work by eliminating local public funding for pbs. by the way, this is not new. this is what he has been saying every time he is asked a question. we can cut out pbs. for all you moms and kids out there, do not worry. somebody is finally getting tough on big bird. who knew that he was driving our deficit? we are going after that. he has decided we are going after big bird. elmo is making a run for the border. the governor romney once wall street who run wild, but he is going -- if governor romney wants wall street to run wild, but he is going to bring down the hammer on "sesame street." we cannot afford another round of tax cuts for the wealthy. we cannot afford to roll back regulations on banks and insurance companies. we cannot got our investments on education, clean energy, research, technology. that is not a plan to grow the economy. that is not change. we have been there. we have tried that. we are not going back. we are moving forward. that is why i am running for a second term as president of the united states. [applause] look -- we have

dissertation research, i got in my car, drove around the country and interviewed local level tea party leaders and local diners and restaurants we sat down. i went to virginia, pennsylvania, kentucky, utah, california and do a surprising how similar the worldviews of these tea partiers were and yet so distinct from my academic colleagues at ucla where i've been getting a phd. for the first one i'd like to make, one thing that sets the tea party apart from many others if they have a very traditional review. so essentially, they have this view america's land of opportunity and that all people regardless of backgrounds can succeed. now this is not to say, but they have this even more so and this is how the answer poll questions and how they help explain a lot of there there policy positions that other people have a hard time understanding. the scope of this. so these are some signs i took at a washington d.c. tea party protest here by the capital. you often see signs like this. don't spread my wealth. spread my work ethic. stop punishing and rewarding failure. this is all part of a common thing.

prosecution because our office has civil. so we would have to turn that over to the local prosecutors or the u.s. attorney. we have been very good about, let's say, being draconian on fines. we've had a number of very large fines and i think a call it the legitimate telemarketing industry has a gold star next to indiana simply just it is not worth of cost of doing business. so whether you're on the do not call or not, at least up until the voip, we've been very successful just using the civil penalties but if i catch rachel i will certainly look for criminal statute. >> next question without touching too much nerves. do the federal rules supersede the state once on auto dialing? >> no. >> all right. shall we move on? you want to address it? >> i will say i think there are some open questions that have been filed at the sec on that topic and i don't believe the agency has addressed those questions and i don't think i should say more about that. >> we would be glad to have the hearing if you want to have one so. >> one more question. can somebody explain exactly what an auto dialer is? eric? >>

't ideological at all. sometimes the group that benefits a local library is a 501(c)(3). it's charitable organization. a c-4 can spend in elections. because there are so many wealthy donors and corporations on the right, this election cycle to defeat president obama, they are pouring money into these groups that don't have disclose -- >> that $74 million spent in opposition to the president with only $5.1 million spent in opposition to governor romney, it isn't because of a law issue, it's because of an actual resource. >> we saw the same disparate in 2004 when president bush and there was a very strong opposition to president bush. >> we say if you want to know, follow the money. you a strategy for following the money. >> we brought all the money. >> i'm looking at the table now which looks like apparently we're going to go down to florida to a strip club afterward. that's not what's going on here. explain what's going on with this money on the table. >> you know, corporations and the wealthiest .01% of the country are making their money talk by giving gobs of its to politicians expecti

going north that you need to take this very seriously. follow the instructions of your state and local officials because they are going to be providing you with the best advice. >> gregg: this storm is in the minds of all americans including on the campaign trail. here is vice presidential nominee paul ryan a short while ago in ohio? >> let's today when we get home, put in our prayers the people who are in the east coast in the wake of this big storm that is coming. let's not forget those fellow americans of ours. >> gregg: doug is live in delaware where residents are anxiously preparing for sandy? >> it is basically here right now. winds are gusting probably about 30 miles an hour. gusting a bit more than that. gust comes along and knocks you off your feet a little bit. this is shaping up in this area as a classic storm coming out of north-northeast. it is typically in this region. nor'easters cause more damage than hurricanes. it's called the ash wednesday storm of 1962, johnf. kennedy was president. hundreds of buildings were destroyed in this area, literally thousands of buildings

some local ski areas or officials at some local ski areas say they may open earlier than usual if the snow keeps falling. that could be good news. margie is with us from i-the in new jersey wwor. audrey, is this kind of weather unusual for this time of year? >> good evening, shep. that show is also going to benefit the water supply across northern california. early snow is some good news. it is earlier than usual for the season though. a storm system sitting in the gulf of alaska kind of stalled there. second day yesterday that is what produced the mountain snow. also spawned tornadoes which are not unusual for the valley of california. last may we had a couple of tornadoes that came through that damaged a couple of the crops. we have tropical storm sandy that's sitting out in the caribbean. as of the latest advisory that came out about 5:00 eastern standard time the track is taking it northward. going to be making landfall in jamaica tomorrow. it will increase to a category 1 hurricane at that time. then as we get into thursday, it's going to cross over haiti and cuba and brin

. they graduate with about 5,330 of debt after graduation which is the lowest on our list. >> reporter: two local private schools that you wouldn't normally think of as affordable also make the grade on the rankings of best values in private colleges. george washington at 49 on the list and georgetown at 17. >> georgetown, for example, is close to $65,000. after need base aid goes down to about $30,000, less than that. >> reporter: it may surprise you who can qualify for these need base grants. yale, for example, extends them to families earning as much as $200,000 a year making it a lot more attainable to get that topnotch college education. and need base grants aren't the only way to go either. lots of schools are handing out big merit-base grants to students who don't qualify for need. for example, the average merit base grant at rice university, number two on the affordability list with $16,000. vanderbilt it's almost $24,000. so basically what you need to do if you're looking for an affordable college, let's say you're in the need department, look for the biggest endowments at universities.

armstrong of rocky mount. now he hosts a local tv show on politics. he helped start a tea party branch here in 2010. what are the biggest issues? >> jobs, jobs and jobs. that would be your top three >> brown: that's it. so it's a question of who can do the better scrob >> who can do the better job not creating jobs. we realize politicians don't create job but at least enhancing the environment that can create jobs. >> brown: do you think there's much enthusiasm? >> as a conservative i am much more enthusiastic about mitt romney than i was john mccain. i thought john mccain was just an extension of george bush. we had had enough of that. >> brown: but polls show enthusiasm remains a question mark here for mitt romney and for the president. he also has to worry about criticism from his left. people like duke economics professor william garretty who cites the almost one in five blacks out of work here and says the president simply hasn't done enough to help. >> that's pretty staggering actually. i mean, we're approaching the kinds of unemployment rates that existed in the united states at the

legislation with a republican from missouri to help the community colleges to turn our local work force training to be more attuned with local business needs. veterans told me that the job skills they acquired in the military that they wanted to put to work here at home. the only ohioan to have a full term on the veterans committee, we want to help. in the fall of 2008, i remember vividly number of conversations with small business owners with workers in the automobile industry. i saw the fear in his face and the anxiety in his voice that he worried about the plant closings. how can i provide for my family, pay my mortgage? how can my daughter continue her education at community college? so i went to work to come first with president bush in fall 2008 and then with president obama in 2009 with dick lugar, carl levin, senators from all over this part of the country. it's not just about the big assembly plants in toledo, but it's about components in brunswick, the steel and aluminum made in this city. we talk about the owner of the diner and the manufacturers. there are real problems, rea

cannot be dealing with every security request for merit local american outpost around the world. the president and vice president have more important work to do. to lay them at the foot of the president is not necessarily fair. it raises the level of presidential attention. president obama says we have strengthened security and have launched a full investigation into the attacks libya. those are the areas the president can do something. host: we have comments coming in on twitter with different opinions. host: this is from jerseygirlinpa. how much do you think the past will be brought up? or will that not be touched enough by the candidates. guest: romney will not raise it. he has distanced himself from the last republican president. how were early george w. bush' -- how rarely charge of the name has been bush's mentioned over the past few years. i think a lot of the issues have moved beyond the problems initiated under the last presidency. the real focus now, the arab spring, events in the middle east, events in asia -- these are particular to our period. i did not expect the t

facilitators around this attack, they all are local men from malala's hometown. they suspect that maybe some of them went to afghanistan where the plot was hatched and returned to pakistan where they carried out the attack. now, the main suspect, as you say, they have identified is a man called -- he went on to do a masters in chemistry. he is one of the main suspects involved in shooting this 15-year-old school girl all because she was fighting for an education. >> have they been able to actually talk to the main suspect about the motive behind this, because this was just horrific when we heard this young girl being attacked simply for encouraging people to go to school. >> althis stage they weren't able to share information about the process or what they may have found out from the suspects they have in custody, but we do know, of course, that when the taliban claims responsibility they first said they shot malala for the reprisal that she was fighting for a woman's right to be educated. >> shed said this was a part of the -- >> then the ttp changed their minds and they said, no, we are ju

and the message. you control the population is at the borders. you control local and regional events. it was true for the governments of the region. it is true for u.s. policy as reflected in the outsize focus on military capability. but today, information is ubiquitous. a generation ago in saudi arabia commie pressure nation from one or more of four sources, parents, teachers, imams or tribal leaders. every leader you make of the black area or iphone with every app known to mankind. a study abroad or colleges of many torments, living with students from other villages with different views. we have gone in the dark days of the cold war and eastern europe, worked would listen to their transistor radio to an era where saudis get 24 hour newscasts and receive constant twitter feeds. you cannot control the message and a longer. you can only influence. so the real question of the day, does the united states, and do the governments of the region had the necessary tools to be successful in an age of influence? let me close by thanking the national council for their leadership role in the great dialogue o

the paperwork. this has been a combination of policy choices again at the state, federal and local levels but also information technology improvements that have made things possible that were not available in the past. but a lot of these programs are under pressure now. some of it is so explicit political attacks aimed at outreach programs and aimed at the policies that have made it easier for people and on the programs. we also know the state agencies are stretched very thin. there are a lot of demands on them and their funding has been caught and in some we're hearing stories of unemployment insurance and people calling and calling to apply for their benefits and just getting a busy signal over and over again. it is a real opportunity to think about how we can build on the progress we've made so far. how can we prevent it from wearing away and what improvements can we make in the future. in particular, the affordable care act or the health care reform presents an opportunity to make some improvements as we move forward. i am going to wave to reports also available outside of the coaliti

page that we are looking at right now, "middle- class detour." the story looks at local voters, saying that the next american president will be governing a shrinking middle class. people in that income range had a message for the president that transcended political ideology. the percentage of americans that fit into the middle income category was exacerbated in the 2000's as median family income shrunk. in colorado, where it started to raise in 2007, its stubbornly hung around 8% for the last year. it is the slower rate compared to household population overall. other articles look at the impact of the latino vote in colorado. let's hear what you have to say. bob is in new york city on the democratic line. caller: i have two questions for the candidates. why, in this day and age, are women's reproductive rights even being called up? are they aware that in this century, at this late date -- why are we going back and rehashing this? an issue that has been dealt with and should not even be on the table? also, i would want to know possibly, and i will vote for the president, and from him i

into it by the local crime labs like the one in santa clara county. a new audit shows in gnaw sent people had their dna information entered into the system and meant for criminal suspects. this is where santa clara crime analysts work on dna evidence with hopes of serving crimes. once they created a dna profile they loaded it into a system. >> the purpose is to try to identify the perpetrators of crime. >> but not all profiles are supposed to be up loaded. >> it has to be relevant to the crime, or at least you have to feel it is relevant to the crime and also that it is from the perpetrator. >> here is the problem. a u.s. department of justice audit found the crime lab has shared dna profiles it should not have shared. they looked at 100dna profiles the lab up loaded, and as a result of the audit, 44 profiles had to be removed from the national database. what the final report calls a large number of inappropriate profiles, and we believe the laboratory may have additional ineligible profiles. >> before 2006 we concede that we entered a lot of profiles that we should not. >> the crime lab director told

leadership roles for women which i think on a local level, we see a lot. we see women being -- not relating to the priesthood because we don't have the priesthood but in certain leadership callings, i see men more willing to listen to women's voice at a local level. we haven't seen so much change in a larger level except for the recent change in the age of women when they're allowed to serve missions. before, it was 21. mormon men were allowed to serve at 19. just a few weeks ago, that was changed. now they can serve at -- mormon women can serve at age 19 which i think will have a lot of great ramifications where before, the implicit message was prepare for marriage if you're not married by 21. you can go on this mission and now i think most mormons would say maybe not getting married at 19 and suddenly serving a mission becomes a more actual part of the women's program. >> john: the salt lake city tribune endorsed president obama over governor romney. >> i wasn't surprised. the salt lake tribune has a history o

and should test but i like the idea of more local control and decision making for how we support our education and i like the idea of federal dollars falling into students, so i like to see more parents be able to choose things for them. unlike senator kent will i support public charter schools and supports innovation and i'm not someone will be a tool in the u.s. senate race at >> senator cantwell? cantwell: education is so important. as someone that went to school and got to go to it from college and know how important it is, but ednrique, your questions or with early childhood education and that's why i want to make sure that we don't have a ryan budget that would cut some of our most essentials education programs. i want to make sure that we invest in early childhood education and vindicate recalled system i've been focused to make sure that we continue science, technology, engineering and math. some of the best investments i've seen in the states have been at the school district or delta high school and the evergreen school in southwest washington or the asian high school. they

his father's campaign and local police are investigating. meanwhile, virginia attorney general is investigating a republican operative arrested for throwing voter registration forms in a dumpster. the operative, colin small, who couldn't be reached for comment previously worked for strategic allied consulting, a consulting firm fired by the republican national committee last month after employees turned in hundreds of suspicious registration forms in florida, including some with fake addresses like a shell gas station. at the time, the head of the firm, nathan sprewell said he was the victim of a few bad apples that worked for him. in the case of phony letters in florida, source tells nbc news the state gop chairman that got one received it at his business address from which he writes campaign contributions. a sign the source says the perpetrators may have been targeting voters found on a public database of political donors. savannah? >> michael isikoff in the washington newsroom, thank you. >>> let's get the top stories of the morning from natalie at the news desk. good mornin

in this debate and local level. >> american crossroads is very active in the presidential election. this is one that we launched today in eight states, $12 million. >> this is what president obama said the jobless rate would be if we passed stimulus, 5.6%. this is really where it is come 8.1%. the difference? about 3.7 million jobs. $5ma's spending drew was trillion deeper into debt and now we have fewer jobs than when he started. but obama promised versus what he delivered. >> it holds the president to account for a very big promise that he made when they were selling the stimulus. the president had a plan to fix it could they spent $800 million on all kinds of different things to fix the economy. they spend the money and the jobs did not follow. what we got was that. when you talk about it in those terms, here's what the president sold to the american people on how to fix the economy. these were the results. not only did not create the jobs, but we have a lot of debt to pay off. we tried to hold elected officials to account for the record and also for the promises they have made. that is why

being shown to them, primarily on local news where most people get their news and they're counting on people not going back and checking and they're counting on a rigorous media fact check on it that he can get away with marketing this version of himself to current voters. mitt romney as republicans on the right believe, is just going to be the hand that holds the pen that signs conservative legislation. so there's no reason to believe that as president, he wouldn't simply sign because look, if he wins, that meant that republicans probably get the senate and probably hold the house. there is any reason to believe mitt romney would not follow through and sign anti-abortion legislation that came to his desk? is there any reason to believe he wouldn't at least attempt to put forward supreme court justices that would overturn roe? no reason not to believe that. >> i think there is also the other danger in terms of backtracking right now is, the conservative base, i mean the fact that the romney campaign immediately followed up that statement with, oh, wait, of course he's pro life, he

1950. >> i think it's pretty well known locally like you said that there are sharks and we have had shark sightings up and down the santa barbara coastline pretty frequently recently. >> shark attacks actually declined in the u.s. last year. there are only an average of 16 shark attacks a year nationwide. and few are fatal. >>> 5:08 now on a wednesday. a man at a social service center in east oakland shot video when he saw a confrontation. a pregnant woman got into a verbal altercation with employees yesterday morning. she refused to go when she was asked to leave. that's when her boyfriend stepped in. the witnesses say deputies hit him after they got him in the handcuffs. >> he was handcuffed already on the floor and it was a lot of witnesses, he was handcuffed, and they start kneeing him again and punching him on his head. >> you're seeing only a small snapshot. >> the punch is within policy. >> alameda county sheriff's department says it will investigate only if the someone files an official complaint. >>> another u.s. senate candidate is stirring up controversy over a remark abo

. in federal spending in particular. federal government spending was up by 9.6%. state and local governments was relatively flat overall and helped offset things because that added up to total overall government spending but you dig through it, it's the consumer hanging in there. housing seems to have turned a corner but the business investment is the real problem and that's what people are focused on. luke, i will a send it back over to you. >> business still sitting on cal tall. we appreciate it. nix, chuck is back with the lowdown on the down ballot races. get your wonk on. a deep dive into the senate showdowns in the battlegrounds. don't want to miss that.
